Picked up the car on Wednesday and drove it 450miles back home with no trouble. Although with no radio and sticking to 60mph, it really took it out of me. This is the oldest car I've owned in 9 years of driving and the one with the least miles on the clock. Picked it up with 6784 miles on it. For ?600!!
Here are pics of it yesterday morning and since then I've given it a full service, washed inside and out, sorted the leaky boot and offending rear window seal, straightened the bumper irons (yes both, it was an elderly couple that had it, I'm just glad there were no yellow stains on the seats!!), de-badged the bootlid and other bits and pieces here and there. Tuesday I get the Koni -60mm suspension kit and Friday it's being fitted with a Toad immobiliser and "15 Team Dynamic Pro Race wheels (in black).

It is needing a new near side door skin (slight creased dent in it) and near side front wing and some paint here and there, but I'll leave that for early next year in the better weather and concentrate on getting the car waxoyled for the winter as it'll be living outside cause my P1 lives in the garage.
